Psa 23:3
He restoreth my soul he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Such a breath-taking
Divine internal
Exhilaration of joy
When Taking the royal,
Righteous paths of Christ!!

All because of Christ!
All because of His cross!
All because of His blood.
All because of His empowering,
Redeeming,transformative
Power,Strength,love,
And irrevocable divinity
Within us
We can jubilantly, joyously, and humbly journey
Where we are led
In the blessed, royal, righteous
And sometimes perilous paths
Of Christ given missional living and giving!
May the choices we make honor and display
The greatness of our Redeemer, priest and King!

Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the heaven and in the earth [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

Both riches and honour [come] of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand [is] power and might; and in thine hand [it is] to make great, and to give strength unto all.

Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.

With
Christ,
And
Because
Of
Christ
Within,
Every
Valley
Can
Be
Gloriously
Changed
Into
A
Victorious
Mountaintop!

I John 2:9
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

There is nothing
So thrilling,
So chilling,
So healing,
So revealing,
So riveting,
So becoming more like Christ
And less like sinful self
When a Child of God’s
Redeeming Grace
Chooses to dwell
On the mountaintops of
God’s forgiveness and love!

And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake:

And after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

It is the life giving
Whisperings of our Mighty God
That we need to listen for!!

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Woe unto [them that are] wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

When a nation or soul chooses darkness
Over the light of Jesus Christ
May the cause of Christ
Become our passionate delight.

When souls or nations go dark or dim
Due to renouncing, rejecting, and silencing
Our crucified and risen Lord,
The only Savior and redeemer of
A suffering and sin filled world
May we as your people continue to
Live like Christ,
Love like Christ,
Forgive like Christ,
Pointe people to the Light of the World
All the while
Continually, humbly, determinedly
Praying and obeying your word until your glorious return.

May we as your people
Reject the demonic, arrogant,
And pseudo intellectual lies of our day
And be passionate pursuers of souls
And passionate proclaimers of Christ.

May we as your people
Refuse to be silenced,
Refuse to be arrogant,
Refuse to be rude,
Refuse to bow our knee
To anyone or anything other than
Our crucified and risen King of Kings!

James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Any blessing,
Any greatness,
Any talent,
Any gift
Comes only from above
From the one and only true source,
Our glorious, magnificent triune God
God the Father,
God the Son,
God the Holy Spirit,
The beautiful dove of hope,joy, and love.

For every good and
Glorious light filled gift
Comes from above!
May we all always give
Our earthly credit,
Our earthly praise,
Our earthly honors,
To our Heavenly Father of lights
Author and Source of all our
Earthly and eternal blessings
Seen and unseen!

Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!

Sculpted
By the loving hands, heart and chisel
of a Marvelous,
Mountainous,
Mighty,
Magnificent,
Man of Sorrows
Acquainted with grief.

Sculpted
By the Satanic chisel of the enemies lies
Via the world, the flesh, and the devil.

Touch Lives Forever! As.."Love does not delight itself in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. I Cor 13: 6,7 And now these three remain Faith, Hope and Love but the greatest of these is Love!"
